Chapter 453-454 Clearly Marked (9)
"Yes, Pagan is in the Myitkyina area, which is also where the jade mines in Myanmar are most concentrated. Almost all jadeite rough stones are mined from there..."
Hu Rong smiled. He classified Zhuang Rui's question as young people's curiosity about jade mines, and then said: "Actually, jade mines are similar to other resource mines. If Zhuang has time, wait for this
After the second public sale, I will take you to see..."
"Okay, thank you first, Brother Hu. I have a jade mine in Xinjiang. I don't know the difference between the two. I was thinking of going to see it..." Zhuang Rui nodded quickly and agreed, with Hu Rong taking the lead.
It is much more convenient to go to the Myitkyina area than to rush in rashly with Peng Fei.
Zhuang Rui had inquired before that private mine owners in Myanmar were extremely strict in the management of jade mines.
Since Myanmar has experienced wars all year round and is close to the Golden Triangle, these mine owners, after applying for a mining license, will classify more than ten kilometers around the mine as their own sphere of influence, and arm the mine to protect it, just like a
Little kingdom.
All Myanmar mine owners do not welcome outsiders to enter their mining areas. They have the right to warn outsiders to leave, and to evict them by force. They will not bear any legal responsibility if they are killed or injured.
Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei's plan was originally to avoid these mines, but they did not go to the scene, and they did not know whether the place marked with the red sun on the map was the location of the treasure. What if it was close to the jade mine?
If so, they would have no choice but to take the risk and enter.
But with Hu Rong's invitation, this treasure hunting trip will become much easier. If there is really an jade mine there, even if it is not Hu Rong's mine, Zhuang Rui will rely on Hu Rong's face to wander around, and it should not be a big problem.
big.
Hu Rong is also very interested in what Zhuang Rui said about the Xinjiang jade mine. He is also a jewelry designer. He not only designs jade jewelry, but also dabbles in diamonds, nephrite and other gemstones. He is currently discussing with Zhuang Rui.
Got up.
Of course, the so-called discussion is basically Hu Rong talking and Zhuang Rui listening. There is still a big gap between Zhuang Rui and Hu Rong in their understanding of jade, but Zhuang Rui can still talk about something occasionally.
It made Hu Rong feel like he had met his confidant.
They chatted until about ten o'clock, when Hu Rong stood up to say goodbye. Before leaving, he was a little reluctant to leave, telling Zhuang Rui that when the conference was over, he would send a car to pick up Zhuang Rui and go to the Hpakant area.
Zhuang Rui went back and talked to Peng Fei. Peng Fei was also very happy. He had some concerns. With his own skills, he could enter the jungle of Myitkyina without being noticed, but it would be dangerous to take Zhuang Rui with him.
It's much bigger. Now you can follow others to get there. Just look for opportunities and go to the place marked on the map.
"Zhuang Rui, hurry up, I'm waiting for you. Hey, where is your assistant? He's not going today?"
Fatty Ma stuck his head out of the window of the minibus in front of the hotel and kept urging Zhuang Rui, who had just rushed out of the hotel, to get in the car.
The Myanmar public sale starts at 9 a.m. In order not to delay the wool dealers in purchasing wool, the organizing committee decided to advance the stone removal time by two hours. So it was only 6:30 in the morning, and the organizing committee’s bus
The car and the minibus Qin Haoran found were parked in front of the hotel.
"Peng Fei doesn't understand stone gambling, so he won't go there today..."
Zhuang Rui got into the minibus while talking. Peng Fei had to prepare some things today, so the two of them couldn't dig holes with their hands then.
Fatty Ma nodded and said, "Well, my people also asked them to stay in the hotel. If I had known that Myanmar's security was so good, I wouldn't have brought those two people here..."
Before coming to Myanmar, Fatty Ma and Zhuang Rui had the same idea, thinking that these areas were run by warlords and bandits. Who knew that after coming to Myanmar, they learned that Myanmar is a country that believes in Buddhism and the local people are very kind. Even if you are in
If you lose your wallet on the street, someone will bring it back.
As for those rumors, they are not all false, but those chaotic areas are close to the borders of Myanmar, Thailand, Laos and China, which is also caused by their special geographical environment.
The minibus quickly drove to the Myanmar National Jade Trading Center. There were already two buses parked there. Since the organizing committee stipulated that they could not enter the stone gambling venue before the time, they temporarily put away all the equipment for calving stones.
They moved to an open space at the door that could accommodate thousands of people, connected the power supply, and put up a cordon. There were soldiers carrying guns on the periphery to maintain order.
More than 200 people were already standing in the open space with the cordon. Zhuang Rui and the others were the second batch to arrive. They were able to get a good position. They squeezed into the front row and saw the woolen material numbered 1888.
, has been placed next to the stone dissolving machine.
After standing still, Qin Haoran pointed to a person standing next to the stone dissolving machine inside and said to Zhuang Rui: "Xiao Rui, that person is the boss of Zhonghai Jixiang Jewelry in China. Jixiang Jewelry is also a century-old brand. Their foundation is very deep.
…”
"Oh, I wonder what benefits the organizing committee has given them to make them willing to perform stone excavation on the spot..."
Zhuang Rui nodded, but he was a little disapproving in his heart. This stone will definitely collapse. I am afraid that not only will the organizing committee be embarrassed, but this auspicious jewelry will also be severely damaged. This collapse will not only mean money.
The losses will also have a great impact on their company image.
"Hey, Mr. Ma, Mr. Song, are you two here too?"
As soon as Zhuang Rui's group squeezed in, someone said hello. Although China is not a small place, some circles are not big. I don't think they all know each other when they come to Myanmar, but when I saw 10 people,
At least four or five of them looked familiar.
"Haha, Mr. Liu, you who play with metal are also joining in the fun?" As soon as Fatty Ma saw the man, he greeted him with a smile.
"That man is the owner of a non-ferrous metal company in Zhonghai. His business is huge and his net worth is no less than several billion. I didn't expect that he would also come to gamble on stones..."
Song Jun was regarded as a semi-official and semi-businessman in the country, and he still had some of the arrogance of a princeling. He just nodded and said hello to the man, and then introduced him to Zhuang Rui in a low voice.
Zhuang Rui shook his head slightly. From the looks of it, not only jewelry companies are rushing to buy rough stones, but also domestic capital giants have stepped in. As a result, the domestic jade market price will rise even higher.
It's just the consumers who suffer so much. As the saying goes, the wool comes from the sheep. Jewelry companies can lose money and make profits for a while, but they have to earn back the money from consumers.
"Boss Ma and Song, please tell me, is this material going up or down?"
Since everyone was familiar with them, Mr. Liu took a young man beside him and squeezed into Zhuang Rui's group.
Fatty Ma shook his head and said: "It's hard to say. It's difficult for gods to break a jade. No one knows until it is solved. But in my opinion, the possibility of losing the bet is very high, because I am not optimistic about it..."
Zhuang Rui smiled bitterly, he was so talkative in the car just now, and Fatty Ma made trouble again.
Mr. Liu glanced at Zhuang Rui and said with some disapproval: "Mr. Ma, this is not necessarily true. Myanmar must be sure that it will encourage people from Jixiang Company to cut stones..."
Zhuang Rui smiled and didn't answer. He was too lazy to talk nonsense with these people. If he turned around and opened all the rough stones, he would know everything.
It's just that Zhuang Rui has a good temper, but Fatty Ma fought for his little brother and said, "Mr. Liu, my brother bets on stones and nine times out of ten he wins, don't you believe it..."
"Okay, Brother Ma, if you keep talking, I will become the king of gambling..." Zhuang Rui interrupted Fatty Ma with a smile. The total jadeite wool he bought was only ten yuan, and he didn't know that Fatty Ma would gamble nine times out of ten.
How is calculated.
The young man standing next to Mr. Liu suddenly said: "Mr. Ma, how about we make a bet?"
"Big D, your kid is still such a big gambler? Mr. Liu, aren't you afraid that he will lose all the precious metals in your company's warehouse?" After hearing what the man said, Fatty Ma laughed loudly.
Laughed.
"Big D, don't play your tricks. If you want to gamble, go find someone to play poker later..."
Although Mr. Liu was scolding the people around him, his face was full of smiles and he was not angry.
"Hey, small bets can be fun. Mr. Ma said that this piece of material will ruin the bet. I will be the banker at the opening. I will pay 2 for a loser and 1 for a rise. Is there anyone who wants to place a bet?"
The young man didn't seem to be afraid of his boss, and continued with a smile: "But I don't have that much money. The amount of bets per person is limited to 10,000. If you want to bet, come to me..."
It can be said that this man has a gambling nature in his heart. The bigger the business, the greater the gambling nature. When one of their decisions determines the flow of tens of millions of funds, they are not gambling.
So when the person named Big D shouted, some people actually joined in the fun. Several people nearby took out their notebooks and tore off pieces of paper to use as betting slips. In a moment, more than ten people surrounded Big D and started grabbing the money.
It took away the limelight of preparing to dismantle the stone over there.
"Brother Ma, what does this person do?"
Zhuang Rui was dumbfounded. Today he came to see Jie Shi. Someone actually took the bank and started gambling. What was even more speechless was that there were so many people cheering for him. Seeing what Fatty Ma wanted, he also wanted to play.
Bundle.
"Haha, that boy's name is Dai Jun. His family is very powerful in Zhonghai and he is also a shareholder of the metal company. After he returned from studying abroad, he was assigned to Lao Liu's company to manage human resources and logistics. This guy is naturally addicted to
Bet, but the bets are not big, and they are very moderate, so Lao Liu doesn't care about him. Let's go and make a bet. I bet you win..."
After Fatty Ma finished explaining to Zhuang Rui, he also moved his heavy body and squeezed in, shouting: "Hey, big D, I bet this piece of wool will collapse, so count me in!"
Seeing this group of tens of millions and even billionaires having a great time playing for a bet of 10,000 yuan, Zhuang Rui couldn't help but laugh. If someone who didn't know saw this scene, they would think it was those who were cooking.
People who buy food in the market get together to play poker and gamble at noon.
"Haha, wherever this kid is, it's very lively. Brother Zhuang, you should also place a bet. Although that guy Big D will lose every time he bets, his gambling is very good and he will never default on his money...
…”
Song Jun kept his age and identity and did not join in the fun. Instead, he asked Zhuang Rui to go over and have fun.
Speaking of Dai Jun, he is also a very funny character. His family named him Jun, which means a gentleman. However, when this boy grew up, although he could not be said to be a heinous person, he had nothing to do with being a gentleman.
No, he is especially addicted to gambling. No matter what the occasion, he will instigate everyone to place bets and gamble. However, his bet is not big. In addition, this kid has never won a bet before, so he is just giving money to others, so it is okay.
Not offensive, after a long time, others gave him a nickname: DJ.
DJ is the abbreviation of disc jockey, which represents the latest, strongest, most poisonous, and highest music. Dai Jun's gambling addiction is just like the DJ who leads the dance in the disco. He is very crazy. In order to be called Fang,
Dai Jun's name has become a big D in other people's mouths.
Ten thousand RMB, but only a dozen hundred-dollar knives. Who among the people present is short of these two dollars? There are piles of American knives in the bag. Now more and more people are surrounding Big D. That boy
He held a handful of U.S. dollars in one hand, and in the other hand there was a stack of betting slips, all handwritten by each person, and they would exchange bets based on this later.
As a result, the stone interpretation scene was divided into two scenes. On one side were older people who, although they were willing to participate, could not save their face. On the other side were a group of young people in their thirties, gathered together.
Rush to bet.
The organizing committee of the conference saw that there was a crowd of people there, and went to check. They heard that someone was gambling at the market opening, and they didn't bother to ask. Gambling on stones is also gambling, and they are too busy with their own family affairs. Who cares about those people?
To be continued...
